In Search of the Republic

Rating:
Summary: Not that Great!!
Review: The other reviewer is obviously kissing up to the author and has not really read the book in depth. Poorly written and underdeveloped!!

Rating:
Summary: Confusing and disjointed
Review: This book, while wrestling with and important topic and one of personal interest, fails to live up the billing given to it by the on line review. The theis is muddled and confusing. There seems to be a lack of organization. The author would do well to rework this piece and make it more along the lines of his previous work.

Summary: Virtue as the key ingredient in an American democracy.
Review: This is an in depth view of the principles upon which the Founding Fathers based the government of the United States. The author outlines the type of people and culture that allowed this type of democracy to come about. Accordingly, the reader is left with a better understanding of the problems inherent in American government today. There are organizational problems with this book. Key points are repeated often, leaving the reader to wonder, "didn't I just read that?" If the reader can look past these shortcomings, a better understanding of the American government's strengths and weaknesses can be found.
